A Special Issue of the Journal Urban Studies (Vol. 24, No. 3) appeared in March 2000. This is entitled "Location Theory: Analysis and Applications", and is edited by John Parr (University of Glasgow) and Aisling Reynolds-Feighan (University College Dublin). It is based on papers presented at the Twenty-Ninth Annual Conference of the British-Irish Section of the Regional Science Association International (RSAI) held at York (UK) in September 1998. The 12 papers (by authors from three continents) reflect the diversity of location theory, and the topics covered fall under the broad headings of spatial competition, urban economic growth, and the structure of urban systems. The various analyses involve different spatial scales, including the regional (unbounded), the interregional, the interurban, and the intraurban. Space is treated continuously (in one or two dimensions) as well as in terms of point locations, these being either undifferentiated or hierarchically ordered. The collection focuses primarily on the contribution of location theory to spatial economic analysis, with several of the papers having an explicit public-policy aspect. Copies of this Special Issue of Urban Studies are available from the publisher, Carfax Publishing (Taylor & Francis Ltd., P O Box 25, Abingdon OX14 3UE, United Kingdom).
Socioeconomic Data for Understanding Your Regional Economy: A User's Guide provides an overview of various sources of data valuable in regional economic analysis. It is aimed at helping novices and seasoned analysts find the data they need to analyze and understand local, regional and state economies. The User's Guide reviews the offerings of federal statistical agencies, describes and compares sources of data by topic (e.g., population, employment, income, cost of living), identifies data intermediaries who can help users get needed data, discusses approaches to using data, provides references for further self-education, and lists key data sources to put in a library or access on-line. Copies are available free from the US Economic Development Administration.

Call for Papers for the RSAI-BIS Annual Conference
The Institute of Australian Geographers Annual Conference will be held at The University of Western Australia in Perth, 1-4 July 2013. Full details are available from the following link:
http://www.promaco.com.au/events/iag2013
The call for abstracts is attached.
Dear All
ERSA Office
Are you an ambitious young scientist, under 33 years old that wants a good platform to present ideas and results and looks forward to receive comments from the best scholars in Regional Science? Then you should submit your paper to the ERSA Epainos sessions!
The Epainos sessions are organized according to the following two principles:
•Offering more time for each presentation, in particular to increase the amount of feedback a young scientist receives on her or his paper, and to provide more opportunity for other young scientists to participate in scientific discussions.
•Assigning specialist senior discussants, experts in the specific field, to each paper that is presented. They will be asked to provide a written version of their comments, with a level of dedication that is considered normal when writing referee reports for scientific journals.
Every participant of the Young Scientist Sessions competes for the Epainos Award, which is awarded to the best paper presented. The winner will be announced during the closing ceremony. The prize-winning paper will be considered for publication in the flagship journal of the Regional Science Association International, viz. Papers in Regional Science.
Each author will receive a detailed report on their paper. Papers that are not accepted for one of the Epainos sessions will automatically be scheduled in one of the R-sessions of the conference. There will also be a joint session for young scientists from the Urban Economics Association.
Eligibility: Each co-author should not yet have reached the age of 33 years on 1 September of the year of the conference and not have a senior faculty position (at the Assistant Professor / Lecturer level).
Important dates:
- 1st of March: full paper submission
- April; notification of acceptance
- 15th of July: final paper submission
See the ERSA website for more information about criteria and former price winners.
The Regional Science Association International (RSAI), founded in 1954, is an international community of scholars interested in the regional impacts of national or global processes of economic and social change.
